Memories...Genetic Asymmetry

(Today I came up with an idea about a part of this blog,a "category",in which I will post things that are related to my past...This category will be called 'Memories...')

This memory is about us,Genetic Asymmetry,a band from Rhodes,in the Aegean Islands.The band members were(are):
Me-keys
Savvas-guitar
Manolis-bass
Konstantinos-vocals
Dimitris-Drums
Although the basic members were Me,Savvas and Manolis, we had various others band members,each in different circumstances e.g.live,competitions etc.

With Nicolas-Konstantinos(vocals) ,Me,Savvas,Manolis and Dimitris(drums) took part in Schoolwave.Schoolwave is a music festival for school bands that takes place in
Athens, Greece, in the beginning of July every year. It is organised by
“Schooligans”, a team consisting of teachers and students.It lasts three days. School bands from all over Greece play all kinds of
music (rock, metal, pop, hip-hop, punk, ska-punk, traditional etc) on a
big stage that meets high music production standards. During the
festival, students take part in many parallel activities, such as graffiti,
skate, bmx show, breakdance, hip-hop dance etc.
Schoolwave started in 2005 and instantly became a success. About
20.000 people attend the festival every year. The last 3 years, the festival
has acquired an international character. School bands from Europe are
invited to play.The competition has 2 phases;first,somewhere around 300-400 bands take part and record 1-2 demo songs.Then they send the demos to "Schooligans" who will choose approximatelly 80 to come to Athens to perform live in front of some judges.Then 20 out of 80 will be chosen and take part in the final festival.Unfortunately,although we qualified for the second phase and went to Athens (from Rhodes)for our live performance,we didn't for the fesstival,because of many reasons.These reasons include us not having our own created songs.(we had,but never had completed them :P),our lack of a front-man etc.In the "auditions" we played the song 'Fatal Tragedy' by Dream Theater,and I have to say that it was amazingly played,considering the difficulty of the song...As I said,we recorded 2 demo songs before the auditions.These were Pull Me Under and Forsaken by,who else,Dream Theater.In the near future I will post our recordings at the blog,but for the time being I will post some photos of us attaining the auditions and being in the ship travelling to Athens.I will also show you how these songs sound like from a couple of youtube videos.

The fellowship of the inspiration...
